Augrented Insights Report for 35 West 81st Street

35 West 81st Street is a 12-story, 72-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Upper West Side, built in 1914 and currently owned by Robyn Epstein. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly with windows and doors, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations. As of April 2025, there is an open complaint regarding a window frame issue, following a pattern of similar complaints in 2024-2025.

Notable recent violations include open issues in Apartment 2B (regarding plastered surfaces, ceiling paint, and shower door) and Apartment 9A (multiple window sash spring balance problems and bathtub finish issues) from inspections conducted in 2024. The building has undergone several inspections between 2023 and 2024 that found no significant violations for tenant safety and alarm systems. The property has a history of various Building Department violations, including failures to file external low-pressure inspection results for multiple years between 2018-2020, though these violations were eventually dismissed.

Previous serious safety concerns were addressed in 2019 regarding an unpermitted commercial laundry installation in the cellar, which was resolved. The building's systems have generally passed recent environmental inspections, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last seven years. Regular rodent inspections from 2014 to 2024 have consistently resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest control measures. Recent electrical, plumbing, and emergency system violations were either resolved or dismissed, showing some responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
